The invention relates to new quinolone- and naphthyridonecarboxylic acid derivatives which are substituted in the 7-position by a tricyclic amine radical, their salts, processes for their preparation and antibacterial compositions comprising these compounds.

This is a division of application Ser. No. 08/764,548, filed Dec. 12, 1996, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,753,669 which is a division of application Ser. No. 08/508,603, filed Jul. 28, 1995, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,605,910.

The invention relates to new quinolone- and naphthyridonecarboxylic acid derivatives which are substituted in the 7-position by a tricyclic amine radical, their salts, processes for their preparation and antibacterial compositions comprising these compounds.

Quinolonecarboxylic acids which are substituted in the 7-position by a bicyclic unsaturated amine radical are already known from the patent applications EP 520 240 (Bayer) and JP 4 253 973 (Banyu). These compounds are distinguished by a high antibacterial activity. However, they have the disadvantage that they have a high genotoxic potential, which renders their use as medicaments impossible. The invention is therefore based on the object of discovering compounds which show a reduction in genotoxic properties, coupled with a high antibacterial activity.

It has now been found that the compounds of the formula (I)

The tricyclic amines of the formula (III) required as starting compounds are new. They can be prepared by the methods represented in equation 1: a cyclic diene (1) is reacted with an imide (2) in the context of the Diels-Alder reaction to give the adduct (3). The compounds (3) can be broken down as nitriles (G═CH) or esters (G═COOC₂ H₅) via amide intermediate stages (4) to give amines (5), which can be hydrogenated, for example with complex hydrides, to give the tricyclic diamines (6). If the radical R in (6) represents benzyl, this can be split off by hydrogenolysis with simultaneous hydrogenation of the double bond to form the saturated tricyclic diamine (7). The compounds (3) with substituents such as, for example, G═OCH₃, OH, CN, COOC₂ H₅ or N(CH₃)₂ can also be reduced directly with complex hydrides to give the compounds (8), and these can then be hydrogenated to give the saturated tricyclic diamines (9). Selectively acylated diamines can be prepared, for example via tertbutoxycarbonylation of the compound (6) (R=benzyl) and subsequent hydrogenation to give (10). Monomethylated diamines (11) or (12) can be prepared, for example, via acylation of (5) with a chloroformic acid ester and subsequent reduction to give (11) or (12). The compounds (6) to (12) shown in the equation correspond to the general structure (III) if R denotes H. ##STR5##

The enantiomerically pure compounds of the formula (III) used as starting compounds can be prepared by the following process:

1. The racemic tricyclic amines (III) can be reacted with enantiomerically pure acids, for example carboxylic acids or sulphonic acids, such as N-acetyl-L-glutamic acid, N-benozyl-L-alanine, 3-bromo-camphor-9-sulphonic acid, camphor-3-carboxylic acid, cis-camphor acid, camphor-10-sulphonic acid, O,O'-dibenzoyl-tartaric acid, D- or L-tartaric acid, mandelic acid, α-methoxy-phenylacetic acid, 1-phenyl-ethanesulphonic acid or α-phenyl-succinic acid, to give a mixture of the diastereomeric salts, which can be separated into the diastereomerically pure salts by fractional crystallization (see P. Newman, Optical Resolution Procedures for Chemical Compounds, Volume 1). The enantiomerically pure amines can be liberated by treatment of these salts with alkali metal hydroxides or alkaline earth metal hydroxides.

2. In a manner similar to that described under 1., splitting of racemates of the basic intermediate stages which occur during preparation of the racemic dicyclic amines can be carried out with the abovementioned enantiomerically pure acids. Examples of such basic intermediate stages are compounds having the structure (5) in equation 1.

3. Both the racemic amines (III) and the intermediate stages in their preparation, such as, for example, compounds having the structures (3) to (5) in equation 1, can be separated by chromatography over chiral carrier materials, if appropriate after acylation (see, for example, G. Blaschke, Angew. Chem. 92, 14 [1980]).

4. Both the racemic amines (III) and basic intermediate stages, such as, for example, compounds having the structure (5) in equation 1, can be converted by chemical linking to chiral acyl radicals into diastereomer mixtures, which can be separated by distillation, crystallization or chromatography into the diastereomerically pure acyl derivatives, from which the enantiomerically pure amines can be isolated by hydrolysis. Examples of reagents for linking with chiral acyl radicals are: α-methoxy-α-trifluoromethyl-phenylacetyl chloride, menthyl isocyanate, D- or L-α-phenyl-ethyl isocyanate, menthyl chloroformate and camphor-10-sulphonyl chloride.

5. In the course of the synthesis of the tricyclic amines (III), chiral protective groups can also be introduced instead of achiral protective groups. Diastereomers which can be separated are obtained in this manner. For example, in the synthesis of the compound (3) in equation 1, the benzyl radical can be replaced by the α-phenylethyl radical having the R or S configuration.

The reaction of (II) with (III), in which the compounds (III) can also be employed in the form of their salts, such as, for example, the hydrochlorides, is preferably carried out in a diluent, such as dimethyl sulphoxide, N,N-dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, hexamethyl-phosphoric acid trisamide, sulpholane, acetonitrile, water, an alcohol, such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol or glycol monomethyl ether, or pyridine. Mixtures of these diluents can also be used.

Acid-binding agents which can be used are all the customary inorganic and organic acid-binding agents. These include, preferably, the alkali metal hydroxides, alkali metal carbonates, organic amines and amidines. Specific agents which may be mentioned as particularly suitable are: triethylamine, 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO), 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) or excess amine (III).

The reaction temperatures can be varied within a relatively wide range. In general, the reaction is carried out at between about 20 and 200° C., preferably between 80 and 160° C.

The reaction can be carried out under normal pressure, but also under increased pressure. In general, it is carried out under pressures of between about 1 and 100 bar, preferably between 1 and 10 bar.

In carrying out the process according to the invention, 1 to 15 mol, preferably 1 to 5 mol, of the compound (III) are employed per mole of compound (II).

Free amino groups can be protected by a suitable amino protective group, such as, for example, by the tert-butoxycarbonyl radical or an azomethine protective group, during the reaction and liberated again when the reaction has ended.

To prepare the ester according to the invention, the underlying carboxylic acid is preferably reacted in excess alcohol in the presence of strong acids, such as sulphuric acid, anhydrous hydrogen chloride, methanesulphonic acid, p-toluenesulphonic acid or acid ion exchangers, at temperatures of about 20 to 180° C., preferably about 60 to 120° C. The water of reaction formed can also be removed by azeotropic distillation with chloroform, carbon tetrachloride or toluene.

The esters can also advantageously be prepared by heating the underlying acid with dimethylformamide dialkyl acetal in a solvent, such as dimethylformamide.

The esters used as prodrugs, such as, for example, the (5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxol-4-ylmethyl) ester, are obtained by reacting an alkali metal salt of the underlying carboxylic acid, which can optionally be protected by a protective group on the N atom, with 4-bromomethyl- or 4-chloromethyl-5-methyl-1,3-dioxol-2-one in a solvent, such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, N-methyl-pyrrolidone, dimethyl sulphoxide or tetramethylurea, at temperatures of about 0 to 100° C., preferably 0 to 50° C.

The acid addition salts of the compounds according to the invention are prepared in the customary manner, for example by dissolving in excess aqueous acid and precipitating the salt with a water-miscible solvent, such as methanol, ethanol, acetone or acetonitrile. It is also possible to heat an equivalent amount of betaine and acid in water or an alcohol, such as glycol monomethyl ether, and then to evaporate the mixture to dryness or to filter off the precipitated salt with suction. Pharmaceutically usable salts are to be understood as meaning, for example, the salts of hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, acetic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, succinic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, 2-hydroxyglutaric acid, methanesulphonic acid, 4-toluenesulphonic acid, galacturonic acid, glucuronic acid, 5-oxotetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid, embonic acid, glutamic acid or aspartic acid.

The alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts of the carboxylic acids according to the invention are obtained, for example, by dissolving the betaine in excess alkali metal hydroxide solution or alkaline earth metal hydroxide solution, filtration to remove the undissolved betaine and evaporation of the filtrate to dryness. The sodium, potassium and calcium salts are pharmaceutically suitable. The corresponding silver salts are obtained by reaction of an alkali metal salt or alkaline earth metal salt with a suitable silver salt, such as silver nitrate.

In addition to the active compounds mentioned in the examples, the active compounds mentioned below and those listed in Tables 1 to 8 can also be prepared, and can exist either as racemates or as enantiomerically pure compounds, or else where appropriate as diastereomer mixtures or as diastereomerically pure compounds:

The compounds according to the invention have a potent antibiotic action and display a broad antibacterial spectrum against Gram-positive and Gram-negative germs, above all including those which are resistant to various antibiotics, such as, for example, penicillins, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, sulphonamides, tetracyclines and against commercially available quinolines, coupled with a low toxicity.

These valuable properties enable them to be used as chemotherapeutic active compounds in medicine and as substances for the preservation of inorganic and organic materials, for example polymers, lubricants, paints, fibres, leather, paper and wood, and of foodstuffs and water.

The compounds according to the invention are active against a very broad spectrum of microorganisms. Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and bacteria-like microorganisms can be combated and the diseases caused by these pathogens can be prevented, alleviated and/or cured with the aid of these compounds.

The compounds according to the invention are distinguished by an intensified action against dormant germs. The compounds have a potent bactericidal action on dormant bacteria, that is to say bacteria which show no detectable growth. This relates not only to the amount to be employed, but also to the rate of destruction. Such results have been found on Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, in particular on Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli.

The compound according to the invention are particularly active against typical and atypical Mycobacteria and Helicobacter pylori, and also against bacteria-like microorganisms, such as, for example, Mycoplasma and Rickettsia. They are therefore particularly suitable in human and veterinary medicine for the prophylaxis and chemotherapy of local and systemic infections caused by these pathogens.

The compounds are furthermore particularly suitable for combating protozoonoses and helminthoses.

The compounds according to the invention can be used in various pharmaceutical formulations. Preferred pharmaceutical formulations which may be mentioned are tablets, coated tablets, capsules, pills, granules, suppositories, solutions, suspensions and emulsions, pastes, ointments, gels, creams, lotions, powders and sprays.

The compounds according to the invention can also be linked to β-lactam derivatives, such as, for example, cephalosporins or penems, by covalent bonds to give so-called dual action derivatives.

The following Tables 1 and 2 show the minimum inhibitory concentrations as a measure of the antibacterial activity and the ID₅₀ values as a measure of the genotoxic potential of a substance both for compounds according to the invention and for reference compounds from the prior art (EP 520 240).

The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were determined by a series dilution method on Iso-Sensitest agar (Oxoid). For each test substance, a series of agar plates each comprising concentrations of the active compound decreasing by double dilution in each case was prepared. The agar plates were inoculated with a multipoint inoculator (Denley). Overnight cultures of the pathogens which had been diluted beforehand such that each inoculation point comprised about 10⁴ colony-forming particles were used for the inoculation. The inoculation agar plates were incubated at 37° C. and the germ growth was read off after about 20 hours. The MIC value (μg/ml) indicated the lowest active compound concentration at which no growth was detectable with the naked eye.

The compounds according to the invention are distinguished in particular by the fact that they have lower interactions with mammalian DNA compared with the compounds according to the prior art. The ID₅₀ is understood as meaning the concentration of a substance at which DNA synthesis in cells from ovaries of the Chinese hamster (CHO-KI) is inhibited by 50%. This value is determined after incubation of the corresponding substances in decreasing dilution stages over defined periods of time. For this, the DNA synthesis in CHO-KI cells is determined in comparison with controls by means of fluorophotometric methods.
